Does Palin have more executive experience than McCain?

Question

If no, please explain how?

If yes, then how does that disqualify Obama/Biden but not McCain?

Answer 1

Yep. I mean, you know, *possibly* because a Governor is part of the executive branch and a Senator is from the legislative. It can technically "disqualify" all of them, but they'll just ignore that.

Answer 2

Yes she does by con logic. A governor trumps a senator no matter how long he has served. Kind of funny isn't it?

Answer 3

i want to know how she didn't know what the vp does when she supposedly has so much "experience"

Answer 4

It's hilarious how politicians try to spin things. They are trying to say that she has more "Executive" experience (notice how this is the first time you have heard that term being thrown around like this). By that they mean she has experience "running" things with employees and budgets. Which obama has done with his campaign, community activist(which they try to discredit him on), and being on boards in the senate and state legislature. But they discredit all of that  and say he has zero experience which any sane person can see is insane. If they say she has more experience  then she has more than McCain as well since his "executive" experience is even less than Obama's.

Answer 5

Yes, McCain only commanded a non combat training squadron for 2 years.

Answer 6

It depends if you consider a command position in the military executive experience.

Answer 7

Yes.

"Executive experience" is overblown. Dubya had executive experience as Texas governor. Look what he did. Lincoln had no executive experience and did much better.

Answer 8

Yes, she does, but "party logic" rarely makes sense.

Answer 9

She has more executive-branch-of-government experience than Obama, Biden, and McCain put together.   Those three men have none.

But at the end of the day, ability counts for more than experience.

After all, Sonny Liston was more experienced than Cassius Clay, when Clay knocked him out and won the heavyweight boxing title.  

And Jimmy Carter was more experienced than Reagan was, when Reagan unseated him in the 1980 election.   We can all honestly say that Reagan was a MUCH better president than Carter was!

Answer 10

Actually yes. I hope people have not forgotten that a Governor is higher than a Senator
